Why I quit trying to eat like a normal person, and how I finally managed to do it.
The kitchen is empty. I reach up to get at what’s left of the birthday cake on the counter. I grab what I can and shove it into my mouth just as my mother walks in. I freeze, hoping she won’t notice my bulging … [Read More...]

I’ve started a million ‘healthy diets’ and wellness regimens. Getting someone to tell me what to do is not my problem. My problem is sticking with good choices and staying motivated long enough to develop better habits. I've gotten that from Coffey.

Coffey's Principles...actually showed me that I HAVE THE POWER to control my inner beast. There have been so many programs that have told me I should have the "willpower" to resist my prompts without actually teaching me how to RECOGNIZE them. Any person or professional that is interested in dealing with addiction or bad habits NEEDS to hear what Coffey has to say.

I am a skeptic and figured Coffey's course was too good to be true…Turns out it's the best foundation I’ve found for my wellness journey. My friends and family can’t believe the change in my health and personality…

Some coaches are good with the nutrition thing. Some with the exercise thing. Some with the mental thing. Some rare coaches touch on all three. But no one is doing it as well as Coffey.

When a client has as her goal to come to terms with her relationship with food and weight, we go straight to Coffey's website. And we use her knowledge, her nonjudgemental stance, her warmth and direct style to stimulate and enrich our work together.

Coffey is so insightful. Thanks to her, I understand more now about the habits and behaviors that contribute to compulsive overeating, and the steps needed to address them. I'm using her suggestions at my health center.

Physician's Assistant

There is no way to put a price tag on Coffey's Principles. Every dollar I've ever spent on diet pills, programs, fads, Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig...all the time and money spent on false starts...all of it, quadrupled, doesn't begin to touch the value I got out of this practice.
